Posted Date: 11/20/2013

[Atlanta, Ga.] AmericasMart Atlanta announced the completion of its distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi network.

According to the company, comprised of nearly 1,300 antennas, more than 250 fiber-fed remotes and 3,000 connectors, the AmericasMart DAS installation particularly enhances cellular coverage during high-traffic events when thousands of people might be trying to access the network simultaneously.

The Wi-Fi network will offer free On-the-Go access to unlimited wireless internet on all floors. The new technology infrastructure assures optimized Wi-Fi access for web and email users in a digital platform unmatched in size, scale, scope and capacity in the wholesale market arena, the company stated.

“This represents the latest advancement in our quest to give customers a digitally-rich environment designed to maximize the productivity, profitability and efficiency of their market experience,” Portman added.

The increased accessibility will be fully active and functional across the 7.1 million-square-foot campus in early December, in time for The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market this January.
